- 5. Connectivism: A Learning Theory for a Digital Age George Siemens “Nurturing and maintaining connections are needed to facilitate learning” Connectivism is driven by the understanding that decisions are based on rapidly altering foundations. New information is continually being acquired. The ability to draw distinctions between important and unimportant information is vital. The ability to recognize when new information alters the landscape based on decisions made yesterday is also critical. (George Siemens) http://www.elearnspace.org/Articles/connectivism.htm
- 6. Confronting the Challenges of Participatory Culture Henry Jenkins According to Jenkins a participatory culture has "relatively low barriers to artistic expression and civic engagement, strong support for creating and sharing one's creations, and some type of informal mentorship whereby what is known by the most experienced is passed along to novices. He goes on to state that in a participatory culture members believe that their contributions matter and feel some degree of social connection with http://www.edutopia.org/digital-generation-henry- one another". jenkins-media-video available free at iTunesU

Editor's Notes
- #2: Go over 4 sections of presentation 1) Who am I?...What is your digital identity? 2) Collaboration...Who do you connect with on-line? Why do you connect with them? 3) The Kitchen Tools...What tools do you use? 4) The Challenges and Concerns of Connectedness (3Cs)...What are your concerns?
- #4: Why the test kitchen? It was clear to me that something was challenging the very foundations of classrooms, schools, & education. *Show Abby movie Web 1.0 - information (one way) - read only Web 2.0 - information is now 2-way - interactive - read/write Web 3.0 - ?? - personalization, the semantic web, individualized...??
- #6: I thought I’d check out what the experts say...
- #9: “protecting knowledge” is a shifting viewpoint Course example - Couros The ideas of connectedness and open education are underlying philosophies for everything else.
- #10: I will be sharing my digital identity with you...Have had facebook since April 2009, my 13 year old only got it 8 months ago I’m a private person, so this has been a huge learning curve for me.
- #11: As of last June 2009 - this was the sum total of my digital identity **Activity** You are a google private investigator - find out everything you can about your partner...
- #13: So - you don’t have to dive in head first - instead, wade in slowly and get used to the water. As we go through the day consider what is “sticky” for you - that’s a good clue for where to start. Questions?

- #36: Show CogDog’s attribution helper
